Flemings was a consensus top-25 recruit coming out of Brennan High School in San Antonio, but he exceeded virtually all expectations right away at Houston. While he was known for his playmaking and athleticism, he was even more effective from day one as a creator. Simultaneously, his shooting, which was perceived as a major vulnerability in high school, was vastly better than expected (52% 3pt through 10 games).
About
Consensus top-25 recruit coming out of high school.
Was not initially expected to be on a one-and-done track upon his arrival at Houston.
Strengths
Dynamic athlete with end-to-end speed, burst in his first-step, physical strength and leaping ability. Puts constant pressure on the paint, attacks both sides off the dribble and rises up for big finishes.
Consistent mid-range pull-up threat with high release who has also made great strides with his passing reads off the dribble.
Competitive on ball defender who fights to stay in plays, is willing to be physical with his upper body and has a solid steal rate.
Weaknesses
Has solid positional size, but lacks great length.
His 3-point shot is still very streaky with questionable mechanics.
Can struggle with screen navigation on the defensive end of the floor.
